Both cognitive conflict (eg Verguts & Notebaert, 2009) and reward signals (eg Waszak &
Pholulamdeth, 2009) have been proposed to enhance task-relevant associations. Bringing …

Past studies show beneficial as well as detrimental effects of subthalamic nucleus deep-
brain stimulation on impulsive behaviour. We address this paradox by investigating …

Recently, positive affect has been reported to reduce cognitive conflicts and adaptations
related to conflict control. van Steenbergen et al. proposed that the aversive quality of …

Background: Many neurological disorders show deficits in ocular motor function. In the past,

Processing irrelevant visual information sometimes activates incorrect response impulses.
The engagement of cognitive control mechanisms to suppress these impulses and make …

In dual-task studies, Task 1 performance is often improved when Task 2 requires a spatially
compatible response (ie, 1 on the same side)—the backward crosstalk effect (BCE). This …

Emotions signal the particular relevance of situations, threatening or rewarding, and

The selection of appropriate responses is a complex endeavor requiring the integration of
many different sources of information in fronto-striatal-thalamic circuits. An often neglected …
